🏈 ALABAMA FOOTBALL: HOW BIG IS THE LOSS OF JOSH FORD?
- The Alabama Crimson Tide are losing one of their most important offensive contributors after tight end Josh Ford suffered a season-ending injury during Alabama’s 31-13 victory over LSU.
- Ford’s contributions went far beyond his receiving statistics, as his physical blocking helped establish the identity of Alabama’s offense.
- How will Kalen DeBoer and offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb replace Ford’s production and physicality?
- Can Kaleb Edwards, Danny Lewis Jr., Jay Lindsey, and Marshall Pritchett step up?
- We examine why Alabama’s tight end room has been so valuable and what this injury means for the Crimson Tide’s playoff push.
🏆 24-TEAM COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF: AUBURN’S GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY?

- Could this be exactly what Auburn football needs? Alex Golesh is working to rebuild the Tigers, and the expanded playoff could create a much faster path to postseason relevance.
- We discuss how expansion impacts Auburn, the SEC, rebuilding programs, and the future of college football. Is a 24-team playoff good for the sport, or does it diminish the importance of the regular season?
